When strong earthquake occurs, global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) measurement errors increase significantly. Combined strategies of GNSS/accelerometer data can estimate better precision in displacement, but are of no help to carrier phase measurement. In this paper, strong-motion accelerometer-aided phase-locked loops (PLLs) are proposed to improve carrier phase accuracy during strong earthquakes. To design PLLs for earthquake monitoring, the amplitude-frequency characteristics of the strong earthquake signals are studied. Then, the measurement errors of PLLs before and after micro electro mechanical systems (MEMS) accelerometer aiding are analyzed based on error models. Furthermore, tests based on a hardware simulator and a shake table are carried out. Results show that, with MEMS accelerometer aiding, the carrier phase accuracy of the PLL decreases little under strong earthquakes, which is consistent with the models analysis.
